Surely everyone knows that publishers are poor lovers of the written word, who sacrifice their lives, their families' lives, yea, even the bread out of their children's mouths, for the simple joy of distributing the fruits of their authors' labours. They don't even want the money we pay them - they're just forced to take it by the cruel and brutal pressures of the capitalist system.
Come the revolution, when the lickspittle running dogs of the neo-imperialist Amazonist-Appleist Gang of Two have paid the ultimate price for their unspeakable crimes against the whole of humanity, publishers will be able to throw off their disguise as money-grubbing bourgeois parasites, and reveal themselves as the true benefactors of mankind that they really are.
Then you'll be sorry. Oh yes.
